Abstract:
A bi-directional dc-dc converter is provided that may provide voltage conversion for two separate electrical power systems. The two electrical power systems may have different functions, electrical requirements and power transfer directions. The bi-directional dc-dc converter may include back-to-back bi-directional dc-dc converter circuits isolated from each other by a transformer. Multiple such dc-dc converters may be connected in parallel to increase power capability. Phase shift pulse width modulation (PWM) may be used to switch the parallel dc-dc converters so as to decrease both voltage ripple and current ripple. The number of dc-dc converters may be modified to meet the different needs of various electric power systems. A single bi-directional dc-dc converter of the invention may be employed to provide electric power conversion for multiple electric power systems, even where those systems have different power requirements and different power transfer directions.
Abstract:
A neutral line regulator is designed as a plug-in module or new integrated inverter with a lower rating 4th-leg, instead of using a conventional four-leg inverter to supply power to three-phase four-wire unbalanced AC loads or three-phase nonlinear loads without a neutral connection. The neutral line regulator may be designed for controlling only the unbalanced power rather than using a fully rated inverter leg. Since this plug-in module may be separate from the main inverter and may operate at a lower power, the switching frequency may be higher than the main inverter. Thus, the size and weight requirements for providing the neutral line can be significantly reduced. In addition, the plug-in regulator may maintain voltage balance between the center-tapped DC link capacitors for non-linear, unbalanced loads. Moreover, the plug-in module may be used as a retrofit module replacing, for example, delta-wye transformers.
Abstract:
A transmission is provided having a dual clutch, to achieve torque flow through a countershaft gearing arrangement. The countershaft gearing arrangement includes a plurality of co-planar gear sets having gears that are selectively connectable to a plurality of countershafts. At least one transfer gear set transfers torque from the counter shafts to an output shaft. The output shaft is connected to a final drive unit that has a final drive unit output shaft that is transverse to an input member connected at one end to a torque converter and at the other end to the dual clutch.
